Here's a link for the radio wiring: 1987-91 Ford F Series Stereo Wiring Information

I'm of no help with the headlights though, never ran into that before.

Thanks for the link. So now it's rewire the stereo, figure out my low beams, and still no speedo, fuses are all good. Broncodereck you called it, from rust repair to the next and the next.... What will be my next problem?!? Oh still have to change my pass side front axle and steering box.... At least it's not a sitting duck in the garage anymore.

So found out the head light problem!!! Who knew on these trucks if you blow one bulb you will lose your low beams but not your high!!!! Easy fix but had me scratching my head.

Two filaments in the bulbs. Low beam can burn while high beam remains intact.

Looks like a great winter rig! Keep working away, winter is right around the corner

Well had the truck on the road a week now driving to work and it works good!!!! Still no speedo and haven't got the radio in but otherwise working great. Put some Lucas power steering fluid in and it stopped leaking for now. Gotta hold back on putting to much money into it till the snow flys(money making time).
Maybe do the axle
Still gotta get it dirty...

Right on man, I'm looking at doing a 86 f250 next... Got one lined up.
That will be a more intense build then this one, this one was a quick fix to get me around in the winter. I'll keep an eye out for yours
